NAHB CEO Jim Tobin will be a featured panelist at a one-day event hosted by the National Housing Conference (NHC) on Feb. 11 titled “Federal Home Loan Banks: Shaping the Future of Affordable Housing and Community Investment.”

The cooperatively owned Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks) lend money to banks, credit unions and other member institutions in their regions that finance home construction, homeownership and community development. They are behind-the-scenes players in the critical process of keeping liquidity flowing to communities in urban, suburban and rural areas throughout the United States.

As the FHLBank System approaches its 100th anniversary, this event will offer a comprehensive look at the FHLBanks and their mission with the opportunity to discuss how the FHLBanks can meet evolving housing and housing finance needs to address the national housing crisis.

Tobin will participate on the panel “A Century of Impact: Examining the FHLBank System’s Legacy and Future” from 2:30-3:30 p.m. ET.
